| contents | Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) serves as a powerful pictorial tool for visualizing the local density of states (LDOS) of an individual stripe, which strongly intertwines with superconductivity in the underdoped cuprates. The exotic LDOS map patterns thus appear as the key to uncovering the mystery of the underlying microscopic mechanisms. With the quantum color string model framework, we reveal that the microscopic origin of the ubiquitous $4a_0\times4a_0$ plaquettes is closely related to spinon singlet pairs. Moreover, by comparing our data with LDOS of cuprates, we identify an effect of particle-hole symmetry breaking (PHSB): a $2a_0$ shift, which is confirmed in a longer stripe ($L=18$).Our work offers a fresh wavefunction-based perspective for interpreting STM signals in experiments and may advance the microscopic comprehension of high-$T_c$ cuprates. |
